JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

mkpipe — Creates a pipe

Synopsis

mkpipe -i|o pipe advertisement
               

Description

mkpipe creates an input pipe or an output pipe from a given pipe advertisement document. In order for pipes to communicate, an input and output pipe need to be created with the same pipe advertisement.

An input pipe can be bound to the same pipe advertisement on multiple peers transparently to the output pipe. The output pipe does not need to know on which physical peer the input pipe is located. To communicate with the pipe, the output pipe needs to search for the input pipe that binds the advertisement.

Options

-i

Creates an input pipe

-o

Creates an output pipe

Example

JXTA>pipeadv = mkadv -p
JXTA>inpipe = mkpipe -i pipeadv
JXTA>msg = recv inpipe
JXTA>data = get msg mytag

This example creates a pipe advertisement (pipeadv), creates an input pipe (inpipe), and receives a message (msg) over the pipe. The body of the message associated with the mytag tag is then retrieved from the message via the get command.
